    I think that's part of the problem. Robert Downey Junior as Ironman is THE BEST comic-book to big screen adaptation and performance, and all other such adaptations will be gauged accordingly. RDJ brings such life and energy as Tony Stark that you believe he IS Tony Stark; you can't say the same about any other hero/actor combination, Cavil and Superman included, although I absolutely enjoyed this movie. Additionally, although I appreciate the character, I and many others have always found Superman/Clark Kent to be a rather bland and boring character. I mean, he's perfect, in every way, and has to try to be imperfect as Clark Kent in order to live among us. Does anyone really care about a guy that's perfect? Typically that doesn't draw a lot of attention or even provokes engagement from viewers. But if we're talking about the genius, billionaire, playboy-philanthropist Tony Stark who's as flawed as his Mark 1 suit? Now you've got yourself a story...

    I just saw it and I feel the same way. I think that anyone disappointed with the movie had expectations that are beyond the scope of any movie to move anyone THAT significantly. When was the last time any of you were "blown away" or won over that much by a movie? I'm not saying that it doesn't happen, but it certainly doesn't happen often because people are difficult to impress and aren't easily won over by anything, anymore. Personally, I wasn't too fond of the jumping back and forth between past and present, but the portrayal of Clark Kent, from a young boy, to an angry teen, to an isolated and lost young man who eventually became Superman, was powerful, provocative and moving enough to have my attention riveted to the screen, in the hopes that I could experience the path that Kal-El took to becoming the Man of Steel. The action scenes were......."messy," if I can call them anything, but I wouldn't have expected anything more or less if Kryptonian super beings were to engage themselves in a battle to the death, therefore they made perfect sense to me. In any case, I plan to see Man of Steel more than once, as this movie struck a personal chord within me, but it would seem that it failed to do so in many others. Se la vi...

    I don't know Bandai's schedule for previews, which is why I always click on this thread in giddy anticipation of whatever 'vids you post. I didn't know that the Andromeda kit we have is "shaped" wrong; that's a bummer but I hope to get to it someday, although I've had the kit for like 20 years, lol...

    Wes, I'm waiting for your youtube preview! I have one of those also. I'm actually intimidated by it because I love the ship so much, that my feeble modeling skills would do that kit NO justice...

    What the hey-I placed an preorder for a PS4 although I will understand if I don't get it right away because of new-launch-mania. In all honesty I can't remember the last time I played a game on my PS3-I think it's been years, but it has served as the heart of my entertainment center since I bought it new in '06. As far as I'm concerned that fugly black box really DOES do everything, and a refresh in the form of the PS4 at a VERY excellent price makes it a winner IMO; I didn't think twice about placing a preorder...

    Well, if I can see Marisa Miller's stellar body flattened across a windshield it might prove to be worth it...

    Personally, I would like to see a few alterations to the original design: another main gun battery, some AA turrets; anything to make it a little more agressive looking...

    Well, look at it this way. If 2199 gets a sequel then they'll probably do ANOTHER Andromeda and this one'll be all 2199'd up!

    I think the next volume comes out......this month? That should help alleviate any remaining pains...

    Hmm...well I don't have the original SOP and I'm turning into a bit of a 2199 fanboi so maybe this version would be worth looking into. Still haven't forgiven myself for passing on the Andromeda, though...

    Since this is a Y2199 sculpt will it be sculpted/shaped somewhat different than the previous versions? I was never sure if there was a difference between the Yamato in the original series versus the 2199 one...

    I wonder if they'll let me wear my Spartan warrior costume to the premiere. It's a shame I can't wear that cape more often...
